One of the crappy things about being an expat is missing the food back home. Luckily, there are enough Filipinos in Singapore for businessmen to have a big enough market to sell Filipino food. We have lots of Filipino restaurants and one of Manila’s most popular go-to restaurants even has a branch here! Yay!
Now I don’t know how long this place has been here, but it was my first time to go last month when my friend Nikki was craving halo-halo and invited us to go over on a Saturday night. The place was huge. There was an air conditioned space indoors but it was fully occupied a table on their al fresco area. We loved that there were lots of televisions playing music videos from the 90s, so we could relate! Haha.
Of course we couldn’t eat just halo-halo because we needed dinner too, and so we perused the menu and got all these.
I didn’t realize I had taken a blurry photo. So sorry about that! Sisig is one of the famous dishes in Manila, often used as an appetizer paired with beer. In fact I think it’s what Gerry’s Grill is known for, and the Singapore branch got the Manila version down pat. Sisig is usually made of chopped pig’s face, snout, ears, and liver.
We were so happy and satiated with the food that we went back a few weeks ago and ordered most of the same stuff! Haha. I’m just happy we have a decent Filipino restaurant here, one we can go to if we’re badly missing home.
